This patch adds history to some dialog boxes. To use it replace %a with
%A in menu file (like in "Run..." menu item). You can specify third
parameter to %A to use different histories for differen dialogs.
All history files is kept in ~/GNUstep/.AppInfo/WindowMaker/ and the number of
history lines controlled by DialogHistoryLines parameter (one for
all dialogs) defaults to 500 lines.
It also adds Tab completion.

These are some of the fixes sent to the wmaker-dev list by
Vladimir Nadvornik, with minor modifications to address Dan
Pascu's concerns.

This patch adds the --disable-verbose-compile switch to the
configure script.
When this option is used it reduces the verbosity of compilation
messages to the essential. However compiler warnings are not affected
and thus gain visibility by not standing in the middle of a storm
of other messages.
In summary, the compilation messages are reduced to a stream of
CC array.o
CC bagtree.o
CC configuration.o
CC connection.o
CC data.o

WINGs based applications should now work with both KDE and GNOME
applications (Sylvain Reynal <sreynal@nerim.net>)
- better check for the XDND protocol version when interoperating with other
applications. As it seems xdnd version 3 (which WINGs supports) and newer
are not backward compatible with xdnd version 1 and 2. This is why WINGs
applications cannot interoperate with GNUstep applications (which uses
xdnd version 2). Xdnd version 4 and 5 are backwards compatible with
version 3 though. (Sylvain Reynal <sreynal@nerim.net>)
This was we internally only deal with fc names and properties. It will
incur a small performance hit as the font needs to be parsed/unparsed,
but this is only for backward-compatibility to support old xlfd names.
People are encouraged to swtich to fontconfig names.
- WINGs no longer adds sans as a fallback for internal fonts. It is
automatically done by fontconfig (if it can't find the requested font
it will use the closest match which is the default font: sans-serif)
- Added code to honor the AntialiasesText global option
- Fixed style names for WMCopyFontWithStyle()
- Added fonts in style files where they were missing. Also changed some
fonts to better defaults.
structures (no longer needed with xft)
- Fixed default system font names (converted from xlfd to fontconfig names)
- A bit of code cleanups related to xft
- Replaced harcoded xlfd font names in wmaker and WPrefs with fontconfig
names.
- Fixed bug in icon chooser dialog that could cause a segmentation fault
in some cases (Pascal Hofstee <caelian@gmail.com>)
- Fixed crash in asm code in wrlib, with new versions of gcc.
- Fixed bug in the x86_PseudoColor_32_to_8() function which incorrectly
used the r, g, b fields in the conversion.
- Fixed x86 ASM code in wrlib to work on 64 bit architectures.
- Fixed the focus flicker seen with some apps (notably gtk2)
(Alexey Spiridonov <snarkmaster@gmail.com>)
- Fixed all crashing bugs that were generated by wmaker starting with the
WMState file missing.
- Added NetWM support (a modified version of the patch originaly written
by Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Applied patch to enhance the Virtual Desktop behaviour, and to integrate
it with the NetWM code (Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Applied a few xinerama and placement fixes (Peter Zijlstra
<a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl>)
- Fixed memory leak in dock code.
- Fixed and enhanced the text wrapping in WINGs.
- Fixed the layout of some elements in WPrefs.app
- Added workaround for aplications that don't set the required hints on the
client leader window, but they set them on normal windows (observer with
KDE 3.3.0 mainly). This will allow these apps to get an appicon again.
(they should be fixed still)
- Added workaround for applications that do not set a command with
XSetCommand(), but instead they set the _NET_WM_PID property. This works
with operating systems that offer a /proc interface similar to what linux
has. (This also is to fix problems with KDE 3.3.0 apps, but not only them).
- Fixed bug with autostart and exit scripts not being executed if user
GNUstep path was different from ~/GNUstep (when setting GNUSTEP_USER_ROOT)
- Added utf8 support in WINGs (removed old X core font code)
- Added utility to convert old font names to new font names in style files
fonts and X font sets.
- New code operates on new fontnames like Arial-8:bold:italic in place of xlfd
(WMCreateFont can still read an xlfd for back compat)
to replace WMNormalizeFont(), WMEmphasizeFont(), WMStrenghtenFont(),
WMUnemphasizeFont() and WMUnstrenghtenFont() which are now obsolete and
were removed.
marked not to be synchronized.
- WMGLOBAL options can now be set in the WindowMaker configuration files
to overwrite values in WMGLOBAL.
- You can now pass "SystemFont", "BoldSystemFont", "SystemFont-##" or
"BoldSystemFont-##", with ## being the font size to any font creating
function to create a font with the (bold) system font font specification.
- Replaced AA with Anitialiased in WINGs font creation function names
- Added WMCreateFontWithFlags(), WMHasAntialiasingSupport() and
WMIsAntialiasingEnabled()
- Created a separate font cacahe for antialiased fonts
- Added test at startup if Xft supports rendering antialiased fonts (in case
the application was compiled with Xft support, but is run on an X server
without support for xft rendering (RENDER extension missing). If no Xft
support antialiasing will be disabled even if it is enabled in the
configuration file.
- Finished the Info Panel to work with antialiased fonts.
- Code cleanup in dialog.c. Remade part of Info Panel drawing the Window Maker
logo.
- Fixed technical style drawing of window resizing.
are affected. Fixes for old code too.
- Double buffering in WMList. All widgets or apps using WMList and
having user drawing porcedures in place will inherit this double
buffering automatically too.
- New functions in WINGs: WMGetColorAlpha(), WMIsAAFont()
- Misc code cleanups in WINGs and src/dialog.c
flickering.
- Added double buffering when drawing WMList items to avoid flickering
- Shared xft drawable
- Renamed AASystemFont and AABoldSystemFont to AntialiasedSystemFont
respectively AntialiasedBoldSystemFont in WMGLOBAL
- WMCreateFont falls back to normal fonts if antialiased fonts cannot be
created (even if enabled)
WMDrawString() and WMDrawImageString() now take WMColor instead of GC as
arguments. WMDrawImageString() receives 2 colors (text & background).
This is to allow easy extension for Xft/Xrender and hide X low level details
- Added alpha channel to WMColor. 2 new functions also:
WMCreateRGBAColor() and WMSetColorAlpha()
- Miscelaneous code cleanups in wtext.c
- Removed obsoleted acconfig.h and implemented its functionality using
AC_DEFINE and AC_DEFINE_UNQUOTED as autoconf 2.5x recommends.
This will definitely enforce the need to use autoconf 2.5x
- new callback in the ConnectionDelegate structure: canResumeSending
- replaced setpgid() with setsid() when starting kids, to allow them to
survive if wmaker (the parent) dies.
- a few cleanups.
- Separated the font caches for normal fonts and fontsets in WINGs (they can
have the same names and collide in the cache giving unwanted results)
- Updated the years in the copyright notices
the global domain as well and are exactly the same. This fixes a bug where
settings from the global domain file were merged in the user domain file
and further changes in the global domain file for those merged values was
ignored making a system admin unable to set global defaults for all users
using the global domains.
- Fixed bug with not extracting the icon from the client when using
shared appicons.
- Added WMSubtractPLDictionaries() to WINGs (opposite for merging, it will
remove all entries from dest if they are present in source and are exactly
the same. Unique entries in dest and entries with different values from
those present in source will be preserved).
